In case some of you soulless bastards dont know what this show is, it was an educational science program aired on PBS from 1993 to 1997 when it was tragically canceled. It then ran in reruns for another two years, apparently they still show it on the Disney Channel.

Theres even a drinking game to go with the show! Just in case the the superb science is not enough to entertain you. However, it sounds like this game might kill you.

    When it started, yeah. But it didn't go off of PBS until I was 9, and I loved watching it.

    Wikipedia, on Bill Nye wrote:
    In April 2006, angry audience members in Waco, Texas stormed out of a lecture Nye was holding when he stated that the Moon reflects the light of the Sun and does not emit its own light. According to some Christian fundamentalists this contradicts the Book of Genesis

    This is both hilarious and incredibly disconcerting.

    A Bill Nye drinking game seems as though it would be a little weird. I mean, you're talking about cherished childhood memories that are being combined with alcohol..

    Wait, that would be awesome.

    The key difference between Beakman and Bill Nye is that Bill Nye is actually a scientist, and not a fictional character played by an actor

    also the whole giant rat thing

    and I could swear to god Beakman's female assistant was simply replaced at some point but my memory's fuzzy

    She was replaced. She actually got a couple decent acting roles.

    She's actually quite pretty for a midget.

    The hierarchy of kids' science show hosts is thus:

    Mr. Wizard > Bill Nye > Beakman

    That's not to say that Beakman was bad. Yea verily didst I enjoy Beakman's World. It's just that Bill Nye and Mr. Wizard were better.
